D Correct answer
Explanation

Under the Industrial Disputes Act, industrial disputes cannot be directly brought before the Labour Court by the parties themselves. The appropriate Government must first refer the dispute to the Labour Court for adjudication. This means that while both parties may be involved in the dispute, the formal mechanism for bringing it before the Labour Court is through government reference, not direct filing by aggrieved parties or mutual consent.
